Anyone out there thinking of tying the knot should seriously consider Lover's Key. Terresa and I had the pleasure of attending our friends Steve and Paula's wedding ceremony on Lover's Key the evening of Saturday November 14th 2009. Terresa and I don't know anything about how they reserved or planned the wedding, but to name a few of the things... more

Lovers key has a beautiful beach and an amazing amount of shells and sand dollars. We came here twice during our week long stay. We had planned on canoeing until my husband saw a sign posted near the water that said "No Swimming - Alligators". That ended our canoe adventure!! more

Happened upon this park when driving from Fort Myers Beach. Parked in a small lot on the side of the road, paid a small entrance fee, and grabbed a map. Beach is beautiful and very close from this entrance. Began walking and walking and walking..........about 2 miles later we finally arrived at a more populated area with chair and umbrella... more

We visited Lovers Key on 12/30/08. We first rented a canoe and packed a cooler for lunch. Other posts stated that there were beach areas to stop and have lunch, I don’t know what we did wrong but we did not find a beach area (after paddling for almost an hour). We had to eat while trying to keep the... more

We had a toddler and it he really needed his water shoes - sand full of broken shells! He loved the trolley ride to and from the beach - was the highlight for him. No trailers or child seats available at the bike rental!? that was disappointing.... probably not a great place for small children. more

Lover's Key is probably one of our favortite beaches in the area. There is a small fee to enter the park. There are several parking lots, concession stands (one near the parking lot and one on the beach), bike rentals, kayak and canoe rentals, chair rentals, hiking paths, and even a tram to take you to the beach. The tram... more

This is still one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been too. We used to go quite often to fly stunt kites because you need room with no people to fly them. They have roped off most of the area for bird nesting and oats so the beach is small and there is no longer room to fly... more

My husband and I were engaged on the secluded, white sandy beach at Lover's Key. Breathtaking and romantic! What a paradise! more

Just got back from the best day at Lovers Key. We rented a Canoe and spent 4 beautiful, romantic hours exploring the back bay and mangroves around the islands (for only $30!!!). The rental staff were so helpful and friendly, even showing us on a map the best routes to spot manatees and dolphins, before we set off. We took... more

awesome!
